Ben Gilbert I'm this old

The slow descent into madness.

Wow, I remember this. Yelling to everyone in the house the movie was about to start, and the fights over the good seats in front of the TV (that had no remote) as you tripped over the Intellivision or Atari to jostle your brother while dad claimed his favorite chair that no one dared take. Simpler times

@gilbert The level of Pavlovian excitement that this sparked in me as a kid is still triggered by this today. I knew when I saw that flyover shot, my parents were about to let me watch something awesome.

@gilbert I was always fascinated by the making-of video for this.

@gilbert I remember watching the documentary on the making of this bumper in the early 80s.

@gilbert I’ll never forget the sparking O!

@gilbert This was peak HBO! Actually used to look forward to this opening before the movie. Parents would yell "it's starting" when the intro started.

@gilbert Damn. They take a while to get the point, don't they?

@gilbert When that beat drops....nothing better

@tates5a @gilbert I'm older.
